Obiturary: Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell (HP Compaq nx9010) exceeded expectations. Originally purchased as a ‘cheap’ functional laptop to enable exchange-student lovely, Swedish Frida, study and instant message from anywhere in The Wendy House. Neither were intended to last more than one year. Rent a teenager, buy a laptop.

First power-up by Frida. Connected to the internet with a new Microsoft wireless base station. (17 Aug. 2003)

Blaster worm victim, rescued by Mark and Fizzz for the bargain price of a curry. (Aug. 2003)

New external wireless card. Her internal wireless was Frida-irritatingly flakey. Irritating Frida is a very risky and dangerous passtime. (Sept. 2003)

Tinkerbell will be dismantled to satisfy my curiosity and for parts. (Apr. 2006)

Tinkerbell resting in pieces (RIP)
